Our Comics

Here it is: your one-stop-shop for the best damned comic stories since the invention of sliced bread! And no mold! I've been doing this storytelling thing for 25+ years as a hired wrist, so it's time I started working for me. For us here at the Fortune 10,000 megacorporation LUX Comics. These stories are yours to read for free. That's right, for zero sheckles. You like what you read, you want them to keep coming, you can support our efforts through our Patreon page. So what are those stories!?

SIMON BRIZDALE and the GAUNTLET of KINGS - It's Indiana Jones meets Lord of the Rings! With a hind of Firefly/Serenity, Pirates of the Caribbean, and even Hellboy mixed in - it's my love letter to all the action adventure fantasy comedies I love. The story: epic. One that unfolds slowly over many story arcs. Lots of sutble clues to the larger story will by lying around in plain sight - sharp readers will be rewarded!

BIMBO - Superhero action adventure satire - Cecilia Bimbolatta is the living definition of a tomboy. She's beautiful, she's tough, and she's about to get in way over her head! This is a very pro-feminism story, but will definitely ruffle some feathers. It questions many of the norms we live by in our society, all in a sexy, action packed Green Lantern/Fight Club type mashup.

ONE - Modern day drama - The story of an up and coming producer in Hollywood who's self-centered, narcissistic world is about to explode. This story has a slight sci-fi angle; it's a quiet story that centers around how we treat each other as human beings. This is the feel-good story of the bunch.

RECOVERY INCORPORATED - Modern day high-tech action adventure - The story of Mia Raven, a thief who became a cop who became a thief again. Have you seen The Thomas Crown Affair? With Pierce Bronsan and Rene Russo? It's like that and La Femme Nakita (the original film) mixed, about a woman who gets paid to recover "lost" items.

The UP SIDE Of DOWN - Modern superhero action comedy - Life is what happens while you're busy making other plans. Know that saying? Well it's that kind of thing but with a twist. You know how Disney movies always preach believing in yourself and following your dreams? And how things always work out for the hero? This is not one of those stories.

There's at least four of five other stories I've got ready to go, but this is already more than enough to get started, especially since it's basically a one man army (operation) at this point. Sci-fi, fantasy, action, comedy, drama, even romance - These stories will run the gamut of genres, so there's something here for everyone!

Our Story

LUX Comics is the home for all our web comics. It's our brand, our imprint. It lets you know that you're reading a quality comic. These take serious time and effort to create, so we need your support to keep them coming. If you want these to keep coming on a regular basis, visit our Patreon page. The more support we get, the more we can give you for your money. That's what it's all about for us: value for you. It's a win/win situation for all of us, eh?

So who are we? Well, mostly it's me, Michael Penick. I've been a professional artist, a hired wrist, a pencil monkey, for over 17 years. I've drawn storyboards for television and film, illustration for movies, fortune 500 companies, and drawn comics for Sports Illustrated, Boom Studios, Devil's Due and more. For more than 25 years I've honed my storytelling skills in both the art and writing departments. I've basically spent the first half of my life creating all kinds of stories that I've started but never finished. The second half of my life, then, will be dedicated to finishing all those stories. And that's why LUX Comics exists: to finally take control of my own destiny, to share the stories that have been burning holes in my brains directly with those who would follow along.

The other half of the team is the one, the only, the elusive Dean Deckard. Some wonder if he's real, but the few of that know still aren't quite sure what to make of him. Is he a replicant? Not sure. He loves telling stories though, and together we keep each other in check, making sure our stories cross their t's and dot their i's. We are better for having each other to make our stories the best they can be. Even if you never meet him, you're better off that he exists. Trust me.

So sit back, relax, and settle in for a good read. Our titles are listed up top in the menus. If you like what you read and you want us to be able to keep them coming, consider supporting out efforts on Patreon. Patreon is not some quiet attempt to earn some extra sheckles while we get publishing deals here and there. No no, this is what we intend to become our main source of income. I know, I know, I already wrote this, but I can't repeat it enough. We're cutting out the middle man and coming straight to you, our fans. So seriously, if you like what you see, help us put bread on our tables!
